“Chaotic Structure”

Time Capsule
Long summer nights, thrown against the walls of time
Salty of sea breeze and tears
Wrapped up in waves of foamy water, under a red moon
Lazy Burraco afternoons, waiting for a new sunset
Slow conversations sticking on sugary tables of limoncello
Yellow patches dried up like sunny circles of regrets
Glorious mornings of awakenings, inside espresso cups
Smiles like “it’s always Sunday tomorrow”
Sparkles of light from jewellery and squashed cans
Glitters of momentary glitches in the system of life
Collapsing in wet castles of sand and tellina shells
Ferragosto of endless lunches and new friends
Hearts beating against notes, sung at the top of our lungs
Landing on pieces of glass and soul fragments
My mother’s eyes twin lakes of love, smiling reflections of forever
Holding my father’s hand in timeless promenades
I still see them, infinite tenderness of silent words
Everlasting
You were not here yet, wrapped up in the dream of tomorrow
Sculptured in marble memories
Encapsulated axes of a cylinder with curvilinear memories
Meeting at the origin of all those dreams, all those times,
When I was waiting for you!

Standing above these clouds of thoughts
moving with the Earth around the Sun,
in this orbit of infinite circles,
trying to loose orientation,
easily
everything brings me back to you.
Fragile distance, timeless space.
Attempting retrograde motion, opposite directions
Closing up “reference frames” and memories
still or always in motion,
naturally,
you bring me back to you.
Constant inclination, endless rotation.
Trying to hide, perfectly aligned like a full moon
in a crispy night of total eclipse,
jumping in dark craters of distractions,
inevitably,
everything brings me back to you…
Fragile distance, timeless space.
Drawing opposite trajectories
running towards angles of obliquity
confused and lost
clearly
you bring me back to you…
Constant inclination, endless rotation.
Fragile distance, timeless space
Breaths of continuity
Constant waves of opportunities
Spiritual Promenades
Fast Motions
Somewhere between sun and sky
Somewhere between moon and stars
At the edge of eternity.
Somewhere between now and never
Somewhere between dreams and forever.

Colours
By Laura LME ©
My name is love,
my colour is red.
Vivid drops of ruby
poured over your skin,
showers of ink and paint
dominated by shadows,
in the light of antic flames
burning your heart!
My name is pain,
my colour is orange.
Veins of flowing fluid
deep slopes of sharpness,
in the cavities of time
pressing against your organs,
extracting bitter tears
contracting your heart.
My name is hope,
my colour is yellow.
Wires of metallic nets
needles of faith,
spread around you
thin rays of thunder,
conducting electricity
empowering your mind.
My name is strength,
my colour is power!
Shades of acceptance,
nuances of fight
depth of belief,
brushes of inspiration
dipped in beauty,
painting the canvas of life!
Faith
Faith
by @LauraLME ©
Layers of tainted skin
like gathered fabric
pleated by time into ruffles of sin
Where guilt slowly infiltrates
subtle, sharp needles
sewing yarn of sorrow and regrets.
Fragile conscience,
blind to the spiritual nature of forgiveness,
The Holy gift of departing memories from pain.
Looking for the light of divine power
holding on to the belief that beyond life,
on the other side of these walls of time,
over the bridge of death,
under these dark tunnels of despair,
through the maze of convictions,
eternal flames of Faith,
burn vivid and strong,
showing us the road to Salvation.
In an ethereal journey back to Life
we walk the streets of redemption,
Where we talk without words,
we see the invisible,
we breath Eternity,
In the screaming light of Resurrection.
Whispers
Words like unconscious breeze,
Insinuations of unknown secrets
Shared through the walls of time.
Whispered through the trees Of our forests of sorrows
Us, Careless Inhabitants Of a land that does not forgive…
Wind of rebellious changes Blowing strong in circles of fire
Flames like hopes becoming bigger
Trying to fight the waters of pain
Our hands in prayers Wet of tears,
Every drop a new rain Falling on this army of souls,
Marching restlessly
Looking for answers, wishing for peace.
Silent whispers, no vibrations
Whispers like silk and velvet,
Covering blankets of tomorrows
Hiding colors of rainbows In the deep wounds of our sky
Slashed by the almighty wings of Angels,
Embracing us,
Trying to heal the cuts Filling the voids
But We are all feathers
Quick flashes of lightning Running through the tunnel of life.
Our strength is a small candle
Consumed by the years Passing by, like sand, through the bulbs of an hourglass.

Reviews
The marriage between poetry and music has been with us for centuries. This reviewer discovered another excellent example of this with a collection of music, released in 2011, called “Absolute Gravity” by PoeticBeatz. This is a collaboration between Laura Lme (Poet) and Tom Cloverfield (Producer). For this production they also brought in the voice and music of Cass Ferre. This trio presents to us world class pieces of electronic beats.
The music presented by Cass Ferre on each track causes many emotions in the first six tracks. “Life” starts with a dramatic feel that carries on throughout this collection. This theme of music is mixed beautifully with the elements of classical music, “Dreams” and “Tears” bringing a dreamy, romantic feel.
The vocal talents of Cass Ferre are sincerely showcased on the tracks, “Moments” and “Whispers”. The harmony voices added to each track will leave you entranced with the music and vocals that accompany it. The production and arrangement of Tom Cloverfield is truly highlighted during these tracks.
Not to be lost without this excellent collection are the words of Laura Lme. There are subjects of spirituality, growth and romance. The team of Cass Ferre and Tom Cloverfield never let the words come to us unclear or muffled. You clearly can hear what the message is.
To this reviewer, the highlight of this whole package of music is the closing tracking, “Absolute Gravity”. Sung by Laura Lme against the music provided by Tom Cloverfield gives a positive message while giving a huge club feel.
“Absolute Gravity” and its mixes will keep you weaving and bobbing in the clubs or at home with the world class production given to it. For anyone that is a fan of this music this package is just for you.

In “Absolute Gravity”, Laura LME reinvents her poetry as the lyrical interposition to hypnotic grooves.
“Against a range of electronic music Cass Ferre and Tom Cloverfield – which traverses house, trance, drum and bass, chillout, and more – Laura’s verses become ethereal, almost instrumental in quality. The effect is rhythmic and mesmerizing, a gorgeous mix of words and music that is at once introspective, contemplative and yet exuberant and richly aural, with the potential to capture an entirely new audience for poetry.” Author, Poet Samuel Peralta aka Semaphore

“Absolute Gravity is a superior fusion of pulsating electronic grooves mixed with brilliant, sublime poetry.
The tracks blend cohesively with a common thread of rolling melodies and intimate ambiances creating a perfectly sonic, gravity defying experience. This release will surely be on constant rotation in my player.” – DJ Chicken George (Peddlin’ Jazztronica!)

“Absolute Gravity” is an absolute delight. Laura LME’s intelligent poetry is brought to life in her new “Absolute Gravity”
recording, a unique spoken word and music collaboration. She reads her poem with Tom Cloverfield’s music in an audio dance that pulses with her realizations. When she repeats “everything brings me back to you” with absolute gravity, I can feel the movement of her spirit in her beautiful and haunting voice.
Setting verse into motion is one of Laura LME’s gifts I have come to love.
She creates a new genre for sharing the poet’s inner world.” J.J. Brown Poet Writer Author

Sono certo che è la strada giusta per un grande successo, attendo nuove
emozioni da scoprire grazie al vostro Sound!

A multitude of emotions and sensations arise… I suggest to listen to this track with your eyes closed to help the natural opening of our mind towards the true sensations that PoeticBeatz want to communicate, I’m pretty sure they are on the right road to a great success! Looking forward to listening to more PoeticBeatz tracks, feeling and discovering new emotions thanks to their sound! Be absolute… Be Gravity… Be Absolute Gravity! Francesco Dettori
Gestures: heritage and tradition
“Capissce a mmè? Do you understand me?”
Congrats to Anna Simi on the recent release of her photographic project and book “Capissce a mmè? Do you understand me?”
Original images of gestures by Bari (Apulia – Italy) natives represented in this unique promenade through heritage and tradition!
Entertaining, funny and so true.
Anna Simi’s “Capissce a mmé?” is not only a book of photography, it is also an accurate study of the cultural and etymological origins of the traditional gestures inherited by the people of Bari.
“Capissce a mmé?” follows the great success of the exhibition launched in 2014 in Bari, later exported to other European cities.
This project was born in the old city of Bari, where the characters of the photographs currently live and hand down their legacy to the new generations including legends, traditions and native customs.
The gestures, interpreted by the protagonists featured in this book, represent their whole world of impromptu expressions, memories and quotes that the author studied and researched to get to the roots of their meaning.
Anna Simi’s work enhances the link between words and gestures which blossom into a new linguistic code.
The physical expressions captured in Anna’s photographs become strategically instrumental in the research phases of this project and help the public’s interest build up to the final discovery of the meaning of the gestural language.
In this project, words and their representation in images complement each other. The purpose of Anna’s work is to capture the reader’s attention, igniting the spirit of belonging as well as the instinctive will of preserving popular traditions, often neglected and forgotten.
This documentary mission by Anna Simi pushes the linguistic boundaries, transposing words and images in another language, crossing the cultural barriers of a project deeply rooted in its native origins.
Written in Bari dialect, Italian and English and of course filled with Anna’s talent for portrait photography – Looking forward to hearing about the London presentation soon!
